"You'll read about me someday." I was definitely dreaming then. With no evidence of that ever being possible, I clung to that preposterous vision and with the force of those dreams willed it and made it happen. Not because I needed to be famous, but because I needed a world that made me feel uninvited to be wrong, so I imagined myself free, I imagined myself loved, I imagined myself... as somebody." Finding Fish a memoir

After directing Antwone Fisher: A Play at UCLA, I needed to rest. Writing and directing a play and rehearsing to get the bet results is difficult, but rewarding. I needed a little break. Now, I am refreshed and on to my next writing project. The words are flowing, the scenes are vivid and interesting. I love this work.
To keep me in my writing space, I have lots of interesting things to occupy my mind when I am taking breaks. It's also when I return emails and make phone calls. The rule is that I can't leave the room! So far, so great.

This if the final week of Antwone Fisher: a play at UCLA. The shows have been outstanding. The acting is incredible. I couldn't be happier. Today, I learned that Saturday is sold out for both shows and Wednesday only has twelve tickets left. The great thing about this production is that with a multi-racial class, it shows that the story is a universal story that isn't unique to men or women, boys or girls. If you are in the Los Angeles area, make a point of seeing the show. You will be happy you did.

I am so grateful for the professionalism that the actors of Antwone Fisher: a play display each night. The energy was fantastic tonight. I was so happy to see my neighbors out supporting me yet again. It's an honor to have them.

I can't even begin to express how happy I am with the opening night of Antwone Fisher: a play. The actors were outstanding, the set was beautiful, the costumes were impressive. It went off without a hitch. All I had to do was sit back and watch. The weeks of rehearsals were all worth it. For those of you who come out, you are in for a treat.
